Bauer Vapor X Shaft Info needed

I have had one of these shafts sitting around for a little over 2 years never used and wanted to use it but I'm looking for a little information on the shaft so i know what blade to buy. I haven't bought a blade in awhile and I'm not sure if i need a tapered blade or just a regular blade with this shaft.

Also are ABS blades the only ones that last for awhile outdoor(on a smooth surface)? or do the fiberglass ones last for a decent amount of time playing about once a week not overly heavy use.

It's been awhile since I started buying equipment or playing this game again so any help is appreciated

ABS blades definitely last the longest outdoors, the Fiberglass will last for a bit but once that bottom piece wears down the stick becomes useless. IDK much about the shaft though sry
